Go one size higher than you technically fit.

If you need to alter the height, hem before you cut, no matter how long! It's a lot easier to cut too much off than you think. This WILL take some practice though! (I'm learning the hard way)

I usually don't share passing advice but I'll make an exception for this because it covers pretty much all the good advice that you can get and debunks the bad stuff too.

i think it’s extremely misleading to say trans men don’t need to voice train. like yeah i guess you don’t *need* to, but you really really should

Big transmasc passing tip

My personal biggest passing tip is dyeing your eyebrows with any brown box hair dye (adapt to your hair color, if youre very blonde take a dark blonde, etc - chose a tint darker than your actual eyebrow color).

Do it a day where you KNOW you’re not going out the day after, because you will have stains on your forehead - to minimize that, before dyeing, rub some vaseline on the skin around your eyebrows (dont put any on the hair though or it won’t absorb color). Use a spoolie or a small brush to apply - you really don’t need a lot, so don’t use all of the dye, just a very small amount.

Make sure to follow the recommendations on the box, like the allergy testing and stuff. They do warn you on the box not to use on eyebrows, but it’s only because they don’t want you getting product in the eyes (please be careful).

When I did that the first time, I was pre-T and got immediately gendered correctly after going out, it was so nice!

Any box dye will do, I always went for the cheapest in my color. You can also use it to dye your peach fuzz or facial hair if you have some, but I don't really recommend it as it leaves a lot of stains if you don't have enough hair to absorb it, it all goes on the skin. Also eyebrow hair get replaced pretty quick so it will fade away.

Hey ftms! I'm an older trans guy in stealth in my daily life and my regular blog is separated from this.

I am open to answering (almost) any questions about phalloplasty, top surgery, hormones, my story, any other surgeries, or anything as long as you're nice.

Important knowledge for trans guys trying to pass!

Get guys jeans from volcom, seriously even the skinny jeans help me pass way better, and also, they run in pretty small sizes too, so even if ur like under 5'5 or so they still should be able to fit well (I'm 5'7 btw, but they did have like two smaller sizes) not to mention they're super comfy and really cool for skating in as well!

Ftm footwear

If you have small feet, unisex shoes like Timberlands, vans, and converse are a safe way to go. For sandals, chacos seem to run unisex. The shoes look very similar whether you get them in the men’s or women’s section
